Master Snoozer (Feline Friday) and Friendly Fill-ins

(Because some people like Blogger and some like WordPress, i am putting the same content at both. If you would prefer to read this on the other site, it is linked here.)

Feline Friday was started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude, and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.

He has handed hosting duties off to Sandee, of Comedy Plus, and it's simple to join, just follow the link to Sandee's page for the rules and the code.

Dansig is a master snoozer:

***********************************

Friendly Fill-Ins are easy to do. There are four statements: the first two statements are provided by Ellen of 15AndMeowing, and the final two are offered by McGuffy Ann Morris of McGuffy's Reader. They try to make sure the statements will be fun to both answer and share. The linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM on Friday. Please head over to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!

My fill-ins for the statements are underlined:

Love your fill-ins. We had a touch of spring too and all the fruit trees blossomed. They are all green now too, but spring didn't last but long enough for the blossoms to show and then it was gone. I'm still waiting for it to come back.

Who knew there was a Master Snoozer designation? How do I apply for this designation. All of the Tribe of Five are snoozers but I think I might just be the master, especially because I love to snooze on heat vents.Purrs & Head Bonks,Oliver and The Tribe of Five
